ORIGIN

Green papaya is native to tropical Central and South America. Despite these origins, its consumption is very common in many Asian countries.

The green papaya, despite not being native to Vietnam nor Thailand, is an important ingredient in the gastronomy of these countries. It is added raw to a salad called "Som tam" in Thailand. In Vietnam this dish it is known as "Goi Du".

27 calories per 100 grams.
The fruit contains plenty of vitamins, plus beneficial enzymes and antioxidants. Green Papaya strengthens both the immune and digestive system, as well as protects against free radicals.

GASTRONOMY

It is often grated in salads, giving it a crisp texture and mild flavor. It should be eaten in one or two days after harvest, since it quickly loses its properties.
